E      G   D               E
i like you when i'm in the mood
A      D          D    E
as the crow flies i go too
       G       D       E
silver slivers in your eyes
        A           D
make it worth every lie
E      G     D            C
i ever told, they turn to gold
A            D
they kept me here
E            G    D             C
they kept me here on this battlefield
A  D


E      G   D               E
i find out what you're all about
       A              D
when i think to look around
D      E       G        D              E
i feel my toes curl halfway around the world
A         D
i'm sorry now
E             G     D           C
there's magic here, and magic's weird
A            D
look this is you

-Chorus-

E           G       D         C
head in the clouds, feet underground
    E                  G                  D             C
and when you shake the earth moves, we're gonna live forever
E           G       D         C
head in the clouds, feet underground
    E                  G                  D             C
and when you shake the earth moves, we're gonna live forever


E       G      D                E
strange angels made this planet glow
A              D
then kicked us out
D      E        G           D           E
i keep my nails dug into my half of the rug
A         D
I'm sorry now
E         G    D              C
i'm sorry now, you don't know how
A            D
look this is you

E         G       D           C
head underground, we'll hang around
